\section{Timeline}

Gnothi was published in USENIX ATC 12~\cite{Wang12Gnothi}
and Salus was published in NSDI 13~\cite{Wang13Salus}.

I am planning to complete the following two tasks for my thesis:
first, I will apply the idea of separating data and metadata to
the active storage protocol of Salus so that it will not lose data
even when a combination of client crashes, server corruptions,
and network partitions occur simultaneously. I expect to complete this task
by December, 2013. Second, I will complete the Exalt project,
which should include 1) a full implementation of the Tardis algorithm,
2) necessary modeling for disks and networks, and 3) evaluation on
more practical systems. I expect to complete this task by
May, 2014. 

I will collaborate with my colleague Manos Kapritsos, who is
leading the investigation of a problem that we encountered
in the Salus project, namely, how to support communication
between replicated components. This work, however, is not
a necessary part of my thesis.

Apart from the projects mentioned above, I have worked on
several other projects related to replicated state machine (RSM):
The corresponding work UpRight was
published in SOSP 09~\cite{clement09upright} and EVE was published
in OSDI 12~\cite{Kapritsos12EVE}.
